The story

A one-paragraph brief becomes a storyboard. The agent generates each shot, turns product photos into motion and builds the on-screen graphics. It records the narration, lays in sound, cuts the film and exports a version for every channel with captions. A reviewer sees each cut before it goes out.

The crew

The specialists behind this role, grouped by the kind of work they do.
